Advanced Geocaching Tool for LinuxAGTL makes geocaching paperless! It downloads cache locations in the area visible on the map including their description, hints, difficulty levels and images. Searching for caches in your local db is a matter of seconds. The currently selected cache is shown on the map (and also all the others if you want) and there's a traditional compass-like view that always points at the cache.

Great application!
I had to shut it down and restart before it would download caches. Two things came to mind: - Get it into the SHR repository! - Is there a way to load opencyclemap tiles? I have lots of those on my SD card and some very old Mapnik. The app only uses the latter and I have not yet found a way to change this. webhamster (Daniel F.) wrote: (2009-08-28 12:43:50)
Thanks!
Currently there's no way to achieve this, but it may be a goal for future releases. MMind wrote: (2009-08-28 16:33:52)
Will you provide the source also? If so under what license, as I would be interested in porting it to debian.
Thanks Ficik wrote: (2009-08-28 17:44:02)
Arrow is really not good when I'm not moving.. But I can be improved by adding North indicator (like there: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3541/docgps2.png).
webhamster wrote: (2009-08-28 18:27:51)
MMind, source is available in the package, and will soon be in a git repository. As there is a (nearly) complete desktop UI already, please contact me: fett@danielfett.de, thanks!
webhamster wrote: (2009-08-28 18:29:45)
ficik, what exactly would the user benefit from a north indicator? as of now, the "top" is not north, but the direction of travel of the user.
Ficik wrote: (2009-08-29 14:27:59)
webhamster, north indicator changes position, it's not static. User is traveling to north on image. It would be on right when traveling to west.
and benefit.. user can get correct phone orientation when not moving. Ficik wrote: (2009-08-29 16:11:18)

Would you add translations support? I\'d love to translate it to czech
Would you add attributes to cache details? It\'s really usefull when cache need maintance You probably know this.. all downloading should by done in other thread, in background, currently it freezes app until it\'s done Would you add editable note to cache details? It\'s usefull while doing some mystery cache with counting stuff (like: number of collumns is A etc.) Please switch collumns ID and Name in cache list. Name is not visible without scrolling and it\'s IMO more useful than ID. I really like this app. It\'s already awesome. This few things above can make it even better for me... webhamster wrote: (2009-08-30 11:13:19)
ficik, thanks for your feedback. i'll probably implement most of the changes. translation support is not planned yet, but may be in the future.

Is there any way to download info for all caches in db?
webhamster wrote: (2009-08-30 12:55:20)
currently there's no such feature.
noother wrote: (2009-09-01 23:18:11)
ahh, thanks a lot for this, tried it today & love it :)
There's one thing I'm missing though. It would be nice if you could implent something to mark a cache as found - so you don't need to write down the cache ids or search through the map to find all the caches you found after a tour. A button "Found it" which writes to a file "found cache gcxxxx" - so you can easily log the caches at geocaching.com when you're home again - would be the most simple example i guess. Maybe auto update them on the next sync (download tab) thanks & greets, noother CS wrote: (2009-09-05 17:16:27)
Thanks a lot for adding the possibility to change the map directory. However, usability is not yet perfect. When the keyboard comes up I can no longer see the field and what I am writing is not displayed. Even when finished I do not see the full line. Therefore, I'm not sure I entered the correct path.
A a first remedy all fields that can be modified with the keyboard could be moved up on the page. For the display options the keyboard is not necessary. Nevertheless, I tried to point the program to my opencyclemap tiles. However it keeps displaying mapnik 8-( Regardless, this is a great app! Keep up the good work! Thanks again, CS webhamster wrote: (2009-09-05 20:32:11)
there's an option to configure the map directory but not the maps it's acutally using. i don't know when i will add the feature to use different map sets.
moving input fields up is a good idea, i'll do this for the next release. Larkules wrote: (2009-09-08 13:40:34)

Thank you Daniel for the great application, i can\'t imagine caching without it.
I\'ve installed the fixed geocaching.py file from your GIT repo after the gc.com html changings in january. It works good, but unfortunately it isn\'t saving spoiler pics anymore. I also have two things on my wishlist: waypoint projection and a possibility to delete caches (without hacking the .db ;-) ). Thanks for your effort! Kraft wrote: (2010-01-30 17:54:58)

I have figured out that the above message only appaers when trying to download certain caches. For example GC22PMC, will make it fail, while it still can download other cache details from that area. Cache GCQDJR and a lot of the caches in that area will also make it fail. Hope it helps.

Just brilliant, now I'm never going to get anything done :)
I have looked in to geocaching before but never got drawn in. Then along comes your application. After installation and a quick scout about I was off and I spent the next 8 hours finding 6 caches. This application is so easy to use. The only problems I have are: Reading the tiny map but I know there is nothing you can do to change this. I have yet to discover how to mark the caches as found. When downloading the overview, if zoomed in too far, I'm am prompted to select a smaller area, when in fact a larger area is required. The application has crashed out when selecting from the drop-down menu on a couple of occasions. Please could you update the wiki page. Keep up the good work, I'm not sure how you could make this app any better. sycoso wrote: (2010-05-01 09:38:39)
A really great app!
Would it be possible to add opencaching? Dan Staley wrote: (2010-05-06 07:44:08)
I really like this app and was dismayed when I found that it had stopped downloading the caches correctly in the most recent version.
However, not wanting to work on my finals, I decided to track down why this was. The error it seems is on line 545 of geocaching.py (located at: /usr/lib/site-python/advancedcaching/core.py) The regex used to find the lat/lon is not taking into account the possibility of a negative value. Changing the line to the following will fix the error and allow you to download caches again! coords = re.compile('lat=(-?[0-9.]+)&lon=(-?[0-9.]+)&').search(line) I'll send something to the devel if I figure out how. Hope this helps everyone else! Enjoy geocaching! Frank wrote: (2010-05-08 20:01:30)

After a while examining the py-files and going through the startup process I found out, that AGTL looks for Settings-Dir that does not exist by default (core.py:206):
SETTINGS_DIR = path.expanduser('~/.agtl') So I just executed "mkdir -p ~/.agtl" on terminal and it works after that! What about trying after line 206: (Just like that, don't know if it is right, I've never written any line of python code.) [code] try: os.mkdir(SETTINGS_DIR) except Exception, e: print "Could create AGTL-settings-directory: %s" %e [/code] So let the geocaching fun begin! ;-) ChrisPZV wrote: (2010-06-16 10:50:30)
